Yeah, I know what you mean about the Black Album packing possibly the greatest immediete punch in his catalogue. It certainly helps that the first few tracks are all gold, whereas (although the firs couple are good) the Blueprint doesn't throw up a genuine classic until Izzo (H.O.V.A.). Reasonable Doubt is still my personal favourite, but it's a close run thing, and I will admit that that album took me a few listens to really click with.
